Roof air's

[dalej]

I'm of the understanding from reading these post that bus's equipped with roof air's are feed with 12 gauge romex from a 20 amp breaker

Dale we have a forward roof vent that could accommodate an a/c and if you like I can take some measurements and photos to help you pick a spot.

Dale, My 3 roof airs are each on #12 wire and 20 amp breakers.

I have read on Carrier's web site that they require 12 gauge wire to feed their unit. I went out and looked and I have the front tv on a 20amp 12gauge circuit. I ran a 14 gauge wire from there to power my aux. air compressor in the steer bay.

So with that clear... back to the original question, Is there a preferred roof top air conditioner manufacture that converters like best?

I'm leaning toward Carrier. Coleman to me has been on the lighter side of quality. I just base that on air compressors and pressure washer lines.

Dale.
My bus has (4) Carrier units with dedicated 20 amp. breakers. They don't get a lot of use but when I need them they work great. I can run one unit off each inverter on the road. All are remote controlled.
These are 2003 vintage. I'm not sure what is available in the later models.

They sit on top of a drain pan to catch the condensation and rain water and have a hose running inside the wall of the bus down to the ground under the bus. I'm not sure how easy this would be add to yours. Obviously you would need to open up the walls and ceiling. They are kind of tall but no taller than the satellite dish.

FWIW, I did hear that the new Colemans were pretty good???

Dale,I can't seem to find the article but I think that they were using Coleman AC units.
